About Surjith S M

Surjith S M is a front-end developer, designer and indie maker from Kerala, India. He began freelancing around 2015 while selling website templates on Envato Market, and later built his own family of products under the Web3 brand (in the sense of modern web, not crypto).

His best-known product is Web3Forms, an API-based contact form backend that lets developers add working forms to static and Jamstack sites in minutes, with a generous free tier and paid plans. He built it after struggling with spam, deliverability and server issues when setting up classic PHP forms for clients.

He also runs Web3Templates, a store of fast, SEO-friendly website templates built with Astro, Next.js, Tailwind CSS and Sanity CMS. Several are free and open source, including the popular Astroship starter for Astro and the Stablo blog template, which drive traffic to premium templates. Web3Templates shows over $75K in all-time revenue on TrustMRR. He also runs the Web3Creative agency and the Web3Inspiration design gallery.
